This sessions are for anyone who loves to dance, move and get creative. Sessions are structured and will follow a similar format each week; but each half term we will explore different themes to keep it fun and engaging. This session will use various props and stimuli to engage and encourage movement, teamwork and spatial awareness. These sessions will also explore dance techniques, skills and choreography, as well as incorporating elements of other practices such as Makaton and Yoga.
